#### 6. Click "Copy the suggested strong password"

☝ Before creating a new project, it is crucial to COPY the database password, as it will not be accessible again. The only way to retrieve your database password later is by regenerating it, which will invalidate previous passwords (potentially breaking existing database connections).
